“The conference was very informative and educational. I especially found the case studies to be the most beneficial. I am glad that this organization has taken the initiative to get some of the states influential people together in one room to discuss the importance of Desalination. We need to keep the ball rolling on this important issue. We also need to keep the pressure on the legislature for making the permitting and funding process easier to work with.”

Our inaugural conference was held September 2013 in Austin, TX. More than 200 people gathered to learn about technological advancements in desal, Texas regulations, financing options, and lessons learned from existing projects. Our keynote speaker was Carlos Rubinstein, who had just been appointed Chairman of the Texas Water Development Board.
